A total solar eclipse will be visible from many parts of the United States on Monday April 8, 2024. While no location in Massachusetts will experience totality, some parts of the state will see over 95% coverage of the sun if weather permits.

All ages are invited to TPL’s Eclipse Picnic for a viewing of the eclipse on the library’s back lawn. This event starts at 2:00pm with 95% coverage projected for just before 3:30pm. To learn more about the projected path, please click here. Attendees are encouraged to bring their own chairs and snacks to enjoy during the event. 

Parking is available in the library's main parking lot. Minimal parking is available in the field across from the library and at the first State Hospital parking lot off of Hospital Road, a short walk from TPL. Parking is not available along Hospital Road or Chandler Street. 

Free eclipse glasses will be available for  at the event, while supplies last.

Friday April 5th update: Eclipse glasses are no longer available at the Reference Desk for those unable to attend the event.
